Air Law

If there is a mast that is 300 feet tall, pilot A can either fly at least 500 feet above

the terrain and ensure that the horizontal distance to the mast is at least 150

meters, or they can climb to 800 feet and fly over the mast.

B flies over built-up areas (or a populated campsite, summerhouse area, or a

place where a larger crowd of people is gathered).

The rule is that they must be at least 1000 feet above the highest obstacle

within a 600-meter radius from the aircraft's horizontal position.

In theory, this could mean moving the entire flight level up by 1000 feet, so no
closer than 600 meters horizontally from the highest obstacle.

If the images and explanations were confusing, I would recommend using the

"manhole cover" method for clarity. :)

Over other areas than those mentioned above, flight must be conducted at

least 500 feet above the highest obstacle within a 150-meter radius from the

aircraft's position. However, lower altitudes are allowed during takeoff and

landing (e.g., on private fields or on a farm).
